Essex take on Sussex in their 12th round South Group match of the T20 Blast 2025 at County Ground, Chelmsford. The game is scheduled to be played at 11:30 PM IST.

Essex vs Sussex Chance of Winning

Essex might be the lowest ranked team in the nine-team South Group T20 Blast 2025 table, but there is a good chance of them beating Sussex on Friday. Essex have managed just one win from their 11 matches in the ongoing tournament, while Sussex have won five and lost four of their 10 matches.

Sussex will be entering the match on the back of two back-to-back defeats. In fact, they have lost three of their last four matches. Sussex have been restricted inside 150 runs in their last two games. Their bowling group started off really well, but teams have started to score against them now. Hampshire scored 196/8 in the second-last game, while Kent chased down 149 in their last fixture.

Essex have done well with the batbut it's their bowling which has let them down. But it looks like just the right time for the Essex bowlers to pounce on under-confident Sussex batters. The odds are in favour of Sussex but we have a strong feeling that Essex will win their second match of the T20 Blast 2025.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Essex

Essex, the bottom-ranked team in the T20 Blast 2025, are most likely to beat Sussex in their upcoming match against Sussex. Essex could capitalise on the fact that Sussex are low on confidence after losing two matches in a row. Sussex's performance has dipped in both the departments despite a strong start to the tournament. Statistically, there is not much difference between Essex and Sussex despite the gap between them in their rankings. Just two Sussex batters have scored over 200 runs, whereas three from Essex have crossed the benchmark. Also, if Essex are relying heavily on Mohammad Amir, Sussex also have just a couple of bowlers to count on. We are expecting Essex to out bat Sussex in Chelmsford.
